I was talking with someone about this recently. I think because of TW3 openness, sometimes impact of choices can be missed, or can happen so much later that the wow-effect has worn off or is diluted by other things. In TW2, because its not open, your choices become obvious (either right away or...

Of course you have to hold S and never let go: you are running down, away from the dragon. Why would you let go and stop? As for the mouse button, I remember it always prompting me to press it each time I played, so I guess thats glitched for you, though the video that jjavier gives a good...

I've only read the English books and I got the impression that there was only one witcher girl in training the books: Ciri, but as other posters have pointed out, she never underwent the mutations, so she's not really a witcher. When she is undergoing her witcher training, Triss comments to...

Tutorial said I should play in normal, but I was breezing through the game in hard in my last play through. Will probably try again in dark mode soon, but I'm playing in the arena for now.

I've only completed the game twice so far. The first time I played on normal (patch 1.1) and found it extremely hard - almost, but not quite, frustratingly hard. Over all, there was one or two parts I was pulling my hair out (the two wraiths; the second part of the dragon), but ultimately...

I was going to ask exactly this. I loved how there was a number of additional stories to play in the witcher and would love if the witcher 2 also had expansion "chapters", both officially made by CDPR, but also mods made by the fans. I would personally love to attempt a mod for the witcher 2...

I don't think its necessary to remake TW1 using the new engine, BUT if they did, I would buy it right away.
